Another must win to start catching up with the top 6.

Not sure on team selection but walmsley and joufret should get to play against there old club.


Whitehaven have had mixed results beating york 38 12 and the week before thAT beating Dewsbury 40-12

AM going for a 26-16 win cant see it been as easy as last week

Confident of a good fax win with walmsley on the scoresheet.

Fax to win this one, 30v12.

It will be interesting if the cup game last week as any effect on there performance. Either way i would still expect them to be stronger then workington was last week i will go for a fax win 30-10.

Listening to their coach they copped a couple of injuries against Saints. Is it me or are all teams seeing more injuries these days?

Walmsley to miss out again, then sign for Featherstone the week after!

Negatives. Everything from almost everyone in likely the worst first 55 minutes I’ve seen for a long time.
Positives. In and amongst the above a stand out performance from Joe Keyes and finally getting it together to post 36 unanswered points in just under 25 minutes.

Agree completely- absolutely dire for a big chunk of the game - whether they just felt all they needed to do was turn up but players and crowd totally flat until we were 24-10 down. I'd think all the players sat on the sidelines will be feeling grateful to have missed that. Gwaze never stopped driving in and deserved his try for perseverance, Salty did what he does every week. While you can't argue with Keyes as MOM -thought the player who really helped turn the tide was Larroyer in his second stint - ran in like a train and lifted the whole team. And while Walmsley took his try really well, hope JWH tells him to bugger off next time a high ball comes down!

I felt all Towns were were quite soft and it was fax who gave them their trys as apposed to them working hard to get them. Two tries crashed over right on the line. Bad defending. Interception try. Is not reading their defensive line and then the very odd try. Where I was sitting it looked like a Town knockdown first and their play being off side who went to score. Second half Town were out on their feet and having only 3 subs maid a difference. Good to have another win, let’s see how we go against Bradford in two weeks

Bit of a let off. Against a better side we wouldn't have come back. We lacked a big aggressive forward in the first half. Can we carry on taking Haven players and get King in next.
Credit though and we got a roll on in second half.

Fully agree about Larroyer. One of his best performances in a long time, when he came back on in the second half.

He ran very hard and straight and made brilliant yards.

Keep it going Kevin!

Another positive was seeing Brad Knowles walking around, just seen a post on fb saying he’s ahead of schedule and may feature again this season, regardless it’s good to see him well after what was an horrific injury.

I will take the positives from that game . Should never have been in the half time position with the squad we have . Wake up call whitehaven at home has to be a win to remain credible .

Just a really lacklustre first half, a couple of really soft tries against us and a couple that were a little fortunate for Haven. I thought we dominated for much the first half and what happened in the second half was not really anything I didn't expect. The players more than likely had a bollocking at half time and looked to respond well to whatever was said.

Fairbank and Tangata need to up their games massively, both are getting carried by the team at the moment, Larroyer was awful in that first half but like has been said he responded well in the second half and I much prefer him playing more direct like he did in the second period than a second row that tends to drift across the pitch. Hewitt was annoymous and I expected a lot more from him given how good he was for us previously. Keyes and Gwaze were standouts, I know Keyes has that bit of class and he really looks the part but I thought Gwaze in the second half really got us on the front foot and there must have been a few times where he took a couple of carries in the set while other forwards were having a breather.
